Phil Spencer "Really Wants" Black Ops 2 to be backwards compatible on Xbox One

Since the program of backwards compatibility with Xbox One was announced, an Xbox 360 title has been requested by the fans shouting for Call of Duty: Black Ops II. Although it has more than 207,000 votes on the feedback site of Xbox, there has been no news about its possible arrival towards the backward compatibility. Something that will cheer the fans is to know that they are not the only ones suffering for this, since Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, also wants the FPS to reach the Xbox One.

[xX1NORM1Xx]

Of course he does who wouldnt want people to get what they want but activision is still ringing money out of black ops 3 so it probably wont happen until at least the next call of duty

[zsquaresoff]

He should concentrate on getting some "exclusives" instead of old games.

[Gazondaily]

So as to please people who are not obviously xbox fans?

[christocolus]

Lol. The usual concern/stealth trolling never ceases to amaze me.

[zsquaresoff]

Keep Playing Halo and Gear till they both reach 10, hopefully, you will realize by then that you need more games to play on your console.

But with blind fans like you, highly doubt that happening.

[Gazondaily]

Maybe you'll realise that this is a twitter response to people specifically asking for BO2 to be backwards compatible.

For a blind fan, my eyesight seems to be far better than yours.

[zsquaresoff]

But who is replying to the twitter question? The head of the Xbox division. The guy who is making all the decisions wether to get new games or get old game because his studios aren't capable enough to make quality games.

It seems you're not only blind but a little dumb as well.

"The guy who is making all the decisions wether to get new games or get old game because his studios aren't capable enough to make quality games. "

You really are ignorant and obviously have no idea how BC works on Xbox one. MS doesn't pay a dime to get approval from publishers for BC. All the publishers have to do is give the go ahead and MS BC team get to work re-engineering the game (where necessary) to take advantage of Xbox one. This has nothing to do with MS 1st party efforts. You were trying to stealth troll and you were caught and now you are being defensive and trying to throw shade. The teams working on BC are different from MS 1st party devs but you wouldn't know that cos you don't even care. Phil is answering a question about Blackops2 on BC. What does that have to do with your comment above? You were obviously trolling bro.

[Gazondaily]

"But who is replying to the twitter question? The head of the Xbox division."

Yes.... So you're saying that he should ignore all fans who are asking for the most requested BC title?

"It seems you're not only blind but a little dumb as well."

And you're a genius right?

[aconnellan]

Yeah you're right, I guess he can't multitask.

/s

What a ridiculous statement. Like it or not, BC is a popular feature on Xbox One, and the games that are added to it are done so on a consumer feedback basis - given BO2 is one of, if not the most, requested games to go BC, so of course they're going to look into it.

Getting games supported by BC and getting new IP are not mutually exclusive, and it's a ridiculous sentiment to think that working on popular fan requests negates new games

[rainslacker]

Seriously..

I mean, I think a lot of people would have liked him to really want Scalebound on the Xbox One. But I guess Phil has more clout than those of us who brought the system for the games that they promoted coming to it.

I didn't buy the system to play games that were advertised to sell the 360. If I wanted that, I would have brought a 360 last gen.

WIsh MS would stop talking about games they'd like to see, and show games they are actually bringing, and stick to actually getting them on the system.

It's great that Phil wants it on the system, but most users aren't there pining over BC and hoping all these old games might get released on it.

Note to Phil:

Most users don't care what you want to come to the system, they care what you are bringing to the system.

[ARESWARLORD]

Who wouldn't want Black Ops 2 to work on Xbox One I would like it to work on my PS4 as well it's a no-brainer so fantastic game

[Fishy Fingers]

Quick a tweet, make an article.

[nowitzki2004]

Tweeting is the new news I guess. Look at Trump.

[Fishy Fingers]

I'd really rather not ;D

[rainslacker]

They say people who use twitter are called twits.

Not sure what the people who make an article about these tweets, and the twits that make them are called. Maybe Chirps?

[zeal0us]

Still waiting on Vanquish, binary domain and mgs collection.

[Razzer]

MGS? Hope you don't mean Metal Gear Solid. That was never on 360.

Edit: Ah...yeah. It was on 360. My bad.

@SirJoJo
Yeah. I was wrong. Get over yourself.

[XXanderXX]

Why not just aim for all 3 , be easy .

[Razzer]

Aim for all 3? All three Black Ops? The first is already on BC. The third is a non-BC X1 game. Black Ops 2 is the odd man out.

[XXanderXX]

My apologies failed to realize those matters.

[KillZallthebeast]

good luck getting activision to do any work they can't profit from

[XXanderXX]

Wouldn't sales of the game equal profit and they wouldn't have to do much MS /Xbox handle the BC aspect of things .

@Septic are they going that route again with a remastered and bundle deal. If so more reason to skip another COD game like last one .

[Gazondaily]

Not when a remaster means more money. Look at MW1

[jokerisalive]

That would be a great addition as I am enjoying BOPS1 thru bc now. Please give us Crackdown1 as well.

[daBUSHwhaka]

And would you like to know what we want Philip.new games and some eh..new games.

[lastking95]

Really wish ps4 had bc, such a great feature.

[KillZallthebeast]

I would of welcomed it since I had around 100+ ps3 games sitting around

[TheVigilanteCode]

Say whatever you want about this guy and Microsoft, but they need to be lauded for being the only console in this whole generation to push out a feature as basic as backward compatibility, and most of all keeping on updating their back catalog.

Credit where it's due, regardless of closing down studios or pulling the plug on exclusives.

[JasonKCK]

Anything negative about BC here comes from one particular group who wants BC, but can't have it.

[81BX]

Medal of honor too plz!

[Youngindy21]

I never did get a chance to play Black Ops 2, so I would love for it to come to BC. It's taken them so long that I almost bought it for PC.

[Pancit_Canton]

Maybe, Phil and the Microsoft team can just re-release the Xbox360 and forget about the Scorpio.

[PimpDaddy]

Don't quit your day job...

[rainslacker]

No....360 is only for people without internet. That doesn't serve MS long term goals.

[WeaseL]

Can't see it happening they are probably remastering it to go with this years COD
